AHT20 + BMP280 combined sensor

Hello,

Just a heads up, as I haven’t seen this mentioned before. On Aliexpress, there is a combined AHT20 + BMP280 sensor available.

Seems to be working, for now with basic settings with ESPHome.

Here are the readouts I could get out of these in HA:

aht20

Nice. What “platform” did you use for the AHT20 in your yaml? Mind just sharing this portion of your yaml?

Just following up: I have since received my AHT20 in the mail and hooked it up. aht10 for “-platform:” in ESPHome seems to work fine for the AHT20. My AHT20 is a stand alone one from adafruit. Works great!

Yes, that is correct, I was also using aht10 as platform. It is not written, but looks like it is working with the aht20 sensor as well. Here is the yaml what I was using:

  - platform: aht10
    update_interval: 60s
    temperature:
      name: "AHT20 temp. (test)"
      id: test_aht10_temp
      accuracy_decimals: 1
      filters:
      - filter_out: 0.0
      - median:
          window_size: 3
          send_every: 3
          send_first_at: 1
    humidity:
      name: "AHT20 humidity (test)"
      id: test_aht10_humidity
      accuracy_decimals: 1
      filters:
      - filter_out: 0.0
      - median:
          window_size: 3
          send_every: 3
          send_first_at: 1

Hi,

i got my sensors today, Temp and Humidity are working perfect with the yaml from eisengrau, but cant get the BMP280 working

here is my yaml:

  • platform: bmp280
    pressure:
    name: “Test Pressure”
    address: 0x38
    update_interval: 60s

an here the log ouput:
[22:40:42][C][bmp280.sensor:098]: BMP280:

What i am doing wrong?

i2c adress is correct

Did you (or anybody else) get the BMP280 working? I also bought this board and I’m having the same problem. I created another community.home-assistant post about this issue, but do the forum rules prevent me from posting a link to it here?

Hi,
Your chip is a BME not a BMP :
[22:40:42][E][bmp280.sensor:105]: BMP280 has wrong chip ID! Is it a BME280?

This code is fully functional (D1 mini board) :

# SDA=GPIO4=D2 SCL=GPIO5=D1 sur D1mini 
i2c:
  sda: 4
  scl: 5
  scan: true
  id: bus_a

sensor:
  - platform: bmp280
    address: 0x77
    update_interval: 60s
    temperature:
      name: "BMP temp"
      oversampling: 2x
    pressure:
      name: "BMP Pressure"

  - platform: aht10
    address: 0x38
    update_interval: 60s
    temperature:
      name: "AHT20 temp"
      id: aht20_temp
      accuracy_decimals: 1
      filters:
      - filter_out: 0.0
      - median:
          window_size: 3
          send_every: 3
          send_first_at: 1
    humidity:
      name: "AHT20 humidity"
      id: aht20_humidity
      accuracy_decimals: 1
      filters:
      - filter_out: 0.0
      - median:
          window_size: 3
          send_every: 3
          send_first_at: 1

Many thanks to the previous contributors !

Thank you for sharing your code. I have an interesting behaviour where the AHT is only reporting values every third measurement and reporting that it takes too long. is this intended ?
